Workaround
The workarounds I have suggested to the user are as follows:1) You can access the same values that are stored in the Shape_Length and Shape_Area fields by using the Geoprocessor Search Cursor to access each features Geometry from the "Shape" field.2) These fields are accessable when working with Feature Layers rather than in_memory layers 3) If the Geodatabase features are exported to shapefile prior to creation in_memory these fields will be accessable.
